CH 38

After pulling myself together, I tried entering the onsen.

“Fwaaaa. It’s an onsen.”

My voice ended up leaking due to how good it felt.

When I tried to scoop the hot water using my palm, it was slightly white. Ooh~. For some reason, I felt like it would have an amazing effect.

“Yuuri-chan, it’s okay to sit over here.”

As Amanda-san beckoned me, I approached her, and there was a place that slightly stood out.

I see. If I were to sit here, I won’t be drown even if I were to soak my shoulders with the hot water.

“Waa. Thank you very much.”

“Yuuri-chan is small, so it will be bad if you were to drown, right?”

“It will be alright as long as I stand~”

“You’ll get tired, then.”

Certainly, I might be getting my priorities backward if I were to exhaust myself in order to enter the onsen to relieve my fatigue.

N~. But having an onsen after a while for the first time is sure nicee.

As I stretched out with all my strength, Karin-san and Virna-san finished preparing and turned up.

Uwaa. Virna-san’s dark skin suited the white tankini…Moreover, her tail could be seen well.

Tail…How I’d like to touch it.

N…no good. Only their family and lover could touch the beastman’s tail, so I have to be patient.

Let’s enjoy Noir’s tail later on.

Noir growled, “Nigyaa,” and its large tail was hitting the ground as if it could hear my heart’s voice.

Un. As expected, petting Noir is the best!

Perhaps hearing the words I whispered in my heart, Noir’s tail began to swing in a good spirit.

Since even its tail got bigger, I should give it lots of petting after this.

“Karin…How about taking off your hat?”

I nodded my head at Amanda-san’s astonished words.

Since she was still wearing her slime hat despite entering the onsen.

The one piece swimsuit…Yup. It matched Karin-san’s figure…I guess?

“We don’t have to let our heads get wet when entering the onsen, right? This hat is my favorite.”

“Certainly, you don’t have to let it get wet, but it’s going to get out of shape due to the moisture.”

Karin-san looked at the steam that was rising up from the onsen, then at Amanda-san, and then again at the steam.

“Hm…Is it better to remove it?”

Karin-san turned behind, asking Virna-san who had helped her change, and not Amanda-san.

“I think so, too.”

“Hmph. Then I’ll remove it.”

Karin-san readily agreed and took off her hat. Incidentally, she also removed her thick glasses that would just get blurred due to the steam.

Eeeeeeeeeeh?!

W-wait a minute.

Who is this beautiful girl?!

Moreover, her ears are pointed?

Could it be that Karin-san was an elf, huhhhh?!

Amanda-san noticed that I was staring at Karin-san in wonder.

“Oh my, Yuuri-chan, what’s the matter?”

“Karin-san was an elf all along?”

“That’s right. You didn’t know? You weren’t surprised when the trees formed a path when we came here, so I thought you already knew.”

The trees formed a path?

Uhhmm, that thing that was like an animal trail, it was all thanks to Karin-san?

Ah, I see. Did she order the plants using the kotodama magic?1

I totally didn’t realize it.

Or rather, I closed my eyes while Argo-san carried me, so I hadn’t seen it.

“Speaking of elves, I thought of them as a mystical race of beautiful men and women…Haa.”

Amanda-san heaved a long sigh.

Certainly, the image of elves that I had up until now was starting to crumble…

“Naruruth is so elf-like, but Karin is…”

Amanda-san sighed as she poured hot water on her shoulders. I was troubled over where I should look at, since she was so sexy.

“I said it myself, but is it true that the elves who left the forest were all weirdos?”

“Yeah. Then, that Naruruth too?”

Naruruth-san, who was the magician at the [Dawn’s Seeker] to which Virna-san belonged to, was a bit of a cold beauty, and she had a detached atmosphere that could be said to be very elf-like, but…I wonder if she was as weird as Karin-san?

“Yeah. She left the forest because she wants to taste all the alcohol around the world.”

“Alcohol?!”

“She doesn’t even eat, she only drinks alcohol. I won’t be surprised to hear that the thing flowing along her body isn’t blood, but alcohol.”

Somehow, I was shocked to know a heavy drinker and a slime mania as the examples of the elves. The two are certainly beautiful, but…I thought that the elves were more of a mystical existence…

Uwaaaan.

Return my admiration for the elveeeeees!
